品川区四季

Sitting at the southern tip of the JR Yamanote Line loop, Shinagawa is one of Tokyo’s main railway hubs, bubbling with activity and action. The Tokaido Shinkansen services Shinagawa Station, opening up Tokyo to all points south. With many corporate headquarters and branch offices, Shinagawa’s shining towers are home to numerous top-rated restaurants, showrooms, and of course, quality hotels and accommodations.

While technically in Minato Ward and not Shinagawa Ward, the area outside Shinagawa Station’s West Exit is not to be missed for café fans. Known as Takanawa, this area is famous for chic cafes and stylish pâtisseries. If you head out the opposite exit to Shinagawa Commons, you will find a plethora of restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets and covering both Japanese and Asian/Western cuisine.

The Shinagawa Experience

As in many of Tokyo’s neighborhoods, Shinagawa effortlessly combines tradition and history with modernity and flair. If you cross the Meguro River into the Gotanda area, the old Tokyo streetscape still lives on. Street patterns still follow the same paths laid down at the beginning of the Edo Period. A stroll through Shinagawa is one of the best ways to spend a relaxing Tokyo afternoon. September brings a yearly street festival in the Aomonoyokocho neighborhood, complete with Edo-style booths.
